Yeah all of that is what is known in the business as propaganda. The more money you have the more propaganda you can put out and restaurant businesses have a lot of spare money because they don't pay their workers shit.

They've used the same strategy for literally decades and it has only ever worked once. That strategy is "our candidate is not the bad one". And it worked in 2020 simply because that year was absolutely fucked and lots of people were looking for someone to "fix it". Joe Biden might as well have been anyone in that moment. In previous years it...has...always...failed. It failed spectacularly with Mondale, it failed with Al Gore, it failed with John Kerry (honestly, you could had stood up a loaf of bread with arms and legs with a big D spray painted on it and it would have had a better chance than that milquetoast dipshit). It failed with Hillary, and it has now once again failed with Harris. People don't come out to vote against a candidate. And never have. The base shows up sure, but they always will. But the unlikely voters or centrists only show up to vote for someone they believe in.

You should amend this because it's not just "illegal" immigrants they are after. The rhetoric around the Haitians in Ohio is clearly directed at any and all immigrants legal or not.

One word. Tesla.

It became the Apple of automobiles and everyone was rushing to copy them. Then came the fall of Elon and everyone is realizing how full of shit the company is.

The US "Green Party" isn't really a party or even a cohesive group of any sort. They don't actually stand for anything other than "not the democrat". Oh, sure they throw stuff onto a platform for the election to try to convince everyone they stand for something but mostly it's a small fraction of former Democrats who come out of the woodwork every 4 years to obfuscate the presidential election with the net end result of taking a handful or votes that would have otherwise gone to a democratic candidate. After this election is over they will vanish again as though they were never there. This has been their modus operandi since their inception.

Sadly, in the anime industry in general, both in Japan and in the United States, anyone who is not on the money/management side of things basically gets shafted.

Well, this is The Register. Not exactly a paragon of stellar reporting here.

Watch her get out in a year and be invited to go on the Republican lecture circuit to talk about how woke politics is ruining American college campuses.

This isn't a joke, I seriously think this will happen.

Yeah, there is a whole load of Steam games that will only play on Windows systems. I'm looking forward to testing the new implementation of WINE and see if it measures up. If so, I may be dumping Windows 10 for a Linux flavor. Though I don't know if I can get the Windows XBox app to work on WINE. So that's a consideration.

There are registry keys you can use to completely disable Copilot.

I don't a totally think that's a good idea. I was being pithy.
